A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Winston Churchill


It is not enough to describe what is wrong with the Conservative agenda, we Liberals must also determine our own direction and policies that will take Canada into a new era of world leadership. The issues surrounding the environment, global warming, the rights of women and minorities, agriculture and agribusiness, our First Nation peoples, deployment of our Armed Forces, the role of the federal government in regional development, in fact the very governance of our nation, all deserve a leader who speaks with integrity, and a governing party that will listen to all groups without prejudicing the debate by closing the door on those who are in disagreement with it.

Liberals see the environment in terms of how our generation can limit the impact we have on the lives of our children, and our children's children. When you go to your poll to mark that ballot, take a moment to think about who you would like to see dealing with this issue. It is then that you can help elect the party that built this country's financial surplus to tackle its environmental deficit. The choice will be yours, but our children will be ones who will benefit.

Also, this is what distinguishes a moderate or Liberal approach to issues from that of the right and the left. It is a matter of structure. Extreme right-wingers construct a box intended to be all-inclusive, yet it is impermeable to individual needs and abilities. Those on the extreme left build their own cage where no one's reach should exceed his grasp, and any one endeavouring to climb out of the cage is hauled back in.

A moderate thinker recognizes that needs among individuals differ, and is willing to accept that society is a painting of many colours, textures and techniques, each of which holds a certain validity under changing light. This explains why representatives of the left and right cannot understand what they see as the shifting sands of the moderate's principles. The structures built by the moderate are not prebuilt, but are established according to need.

Unlike the Conservatives, the Liberal party, with its policies of the centre, will provide good government for all Canadians.
